Hello dear forum friends! So so sorry I haven't been on here for a very long time. It brings up a lot of pain from the past year and I am not as strong as I thought I was, so I am taking a breather. I am okay. Michelle is still very very sick. Still lead poisoning and the usual, but now she...
Hello dear dear friends. I havent been on here much for the past few months because, as some of you already know, I have been taking care of my dad 80 hours a week and then taking care of my very ill daughter as well. I have been emotionally and physically maxed out. For now, Michelle is...
Hi Dear Family! I am over at my parents now helping out for the weekends and there are two things my dad really needs help with. First off, he has a horrible pressure sore on the top of his nose from the bi-pap. It hurts! He has some medication that his doctor has given him, but its not...

This is what is going through my child's mind these days. She actually wrote her own eulogy, and it is brilliant! I cannot believe this came out of the mouth of my 21 year old little girl.
"In my dreams

Your hopes, delusions...
Hi Forum Family! I have missed being here for a while, but just have a lot going on still with my daughter and my father. Here is my question for all your PEG meisters. My dad came back from his appt with his ALS specialist yesterday and found out that his FVC went from 95% to 64% just from...
